UNITED
NATIONS,
March 5 --
While in
Washington
Senator John
McCain called
for US-led
airstrikes on
Syria, citing
as precedent
the campaign
on
Serbia and
Kosovo which
had no UN
Security
Council
approval, in
front
of the
Security
Council Monday
the messages
were mixed.

One
Permanent
Five member's
Permanent
Representative
told Inner
City Press
there
would be
"consultations
Tuesday on the
American
draft"
resolution.

Another P5
Perm Rep
disputed that,
and at day's
end when
Inner City
Press asked
the UK's Mark
Lyall Grant,
President of
the
Council for
March, if
there would be
"P5 plus One"
consultation,
he answered
this question
with a
question:
who's the
one?

Also on March
10, Russian
Foreign
Minister
Lavrov arrives
in Cairo to
speak with his
Arab
counterparts.
It's after
that,
a
non-permanent
Council
member's
Permanent
Representative
told Inner
City Press,
that things
will get
moving. We'll
see - watch
this site.
